I have a single DC running server 2003.

Over the weekend, the server took a crap. Out of necessity, I reinstall the OS which include formatting of the C: drive.

I performed a DCPROMO and configured the AD exactly as it was before. Under "Entire Network/Domain Name" I'm able to see all the computers in the right domain. However, I'm not seeing it in AD/Users and Computer

Would it be as simple as manually entering each computer name in AD or do I have to unjoin/rejoin each computer?

All the users have a local profile and this is what I'm trying to avoid losing.
 
Yes once you recreate a domain even though you kept the same name you will have to rejoin all clients.
